Physicists searching for a better understanding of quantum gravity stumbled upon something unexpected: the defining ...

In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical framework that describes nearly all particles and forces in the universe but ...

The gauge bosons of the standard model of particle physics are responsible for three of the four known forces in the universe ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. The Universe is out there, waiting for you to discover it. The greatest scientific legacy that Albert Einstein left us is this: ...

It's one of the most brilliant, controversial and unproven ideas in all of physics: string theory. At the heart of string theory is the thread of an idea that's run through physics for centuries, that ...

String theory and its extensions propose that the elementary constituents of matter are not point particles but one-dimensional strings whose vibrational modes manifest as observed particles and ...

Gravity has been tested over a shorter distance than ever before. Using a delicate apparatus to measure gravitational forces over just a tenth of a millimetre, a team of physicists has found that they ...

McGill University graduate Tim Blais is switching from theoretical physics to music — and there's no better way to mark the career transition than making a "Bohemian Rhapsody" video parody about ...
